Cultist's Official 2012 Oscars Drinking Game

The 84th Academy Awards are just around the corner, and that can only mean one thing: socially acceptable Sunday night boozin'. After all, real film fans don't casually sip champagne as Hollywood's biggest night winds its way to its inevitable conclusion sometime around midnight. They pound their drinks to dull the pain of long acceptance speeches and awkward banter.

On any other night of the year, treating your psychological distress with liquor is just boring old alcoholism. But on Oscars Sunday, it's a fun game for adults and kids with fake IDs alike.

In that spirit, we present Cultist's own drinking game. What can we say? We're glad to help your Oscar event descend into total bacchanalia. You'll thank us later. Or you'll be too hungover to retaliate against us. Either way.
